Time for Paradise, Burnout style!









Ok folks, here you go http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21413.html

The E3 Trailer for Burnout Paradise!

I am so proud to be working on this game. It is truly amazing!

OpenGL


Small update:
Ok so in me free time I am still crafting away on a small little project that uses OpenGL.

I am getting closer to finishing the first release.

Will keep you up to date as soon as I make it available.

On another note, I just received my copy of the Orange book today. It seems to very good. Will let you know what I think after reading it.

Gothic 3 sucks ass big time!

Right, so do you remember the post I made last year just as Gothic 3 got published?

Do you remember how excited I was about the new "episode"?

Well guess what, the game sucks big time! Why? Well for one simple fact, the game is buggy as hell.

When I bought the game, I only had a laptop, quite a powerfull one. I had a very hard time trying to get the game to run smoothly. In the end I decided to shelf it until I bought a new PC.

About 2 months ago I bought a new PC, Dell Dimension 9200, 2GB Ram, Geforce 7800 GS, Intel Duo Core 2 2.8Ghz, etc. So I decided I will try out Gothic 3 again.

Guess what? The game is still a bitch to run. After spending lots of time on forums to find out what values to tweak etc. in the INI files, the game was still sluggish.

So I finally decided that no matter how much I tweak it, it still sucks! As far as the game it self, ala game content, story etc. it is still very good, but the technicallities of just trying to play it got me down.

In the end I opted out for Oblivion which is truly an amazing game.

House

Gerry and I have decided to climb the first rung of the property ladder.

We got sick of having to pay some one else's morgage of each month. So we decided it would be a better investment to get a little place of own.

We have put an offer in for a nice 2 bedroom masionette in Farncombe, Surrey. Now we are just dealing with the morgage application and solicitors.

Hold your thumbs that we get it!
